Overview

A follow-up to ""Beyond Blame: Child Abuse Tragedies Revisited"" (1993), which analyzed the cases at the centre of 35 public inquiries into fatal child abuse. In this text, the authors use the same process of case analysis and apply it to a more representative sample of cases. They describe the theoretical basis and method of the study and its findings, and go on to discuss its practical implications and their opinions about the case review process itself. Finally, the authors discuss whether child abuse fatalities can be predicted or prevented.
